The Spotlight on YHA London St Paul's

Central London Stay Just Minutes from the Music

Modern hostel vibes meet unbeatable location at YHA London St Paul's. Set in the heart of the city, this budget-friendly spot is only a 5-minute walk from St. Paul's tube station and just steps from iconic landmarks like St. Paul's Cathedral. With simple dorm-style rooms, shared facilities, and a relaxed community feel, it’s perfect for those who want to be close to the action without the high price tag.

Why Concert-goers love it

YHA London St Paul's is all about convenience. You're within walking distance or a short tube ride from venues across the West End, Southbank, and beyond. The nearby Central Line gets you to London's top music arenas in minutes. Despite being in the city centre, the hostel stays relatively quiet at night thanks to its tucked-away location. While check-in is from 15:00 and check-out is at 10:00, the 24-hour reception means you can roll in after a gig without worry.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a budget base near the music scene
  • Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime show
  • Couples exploring London with a gig on the side
  • Fans needing quiet for post-show recovery
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who'd rather spend on tickets than accommodation

Food and Drink Options

  • On-site licensed restaurant serving evening meals
  • Vending machines for late-night snacks
  • Plenty of walkable eateries and pubs nearby
  • No breakfast included, but options abound in the area

Nightlife Options

  • Close to bars and pubs around St. Paul’s and Southbank
  • Easy access to live music venues in Soho and Camden via tube
  • Chill communal areas to wind down after a show

What People Say

Guests love the central location, especially the quick walk to key tube stations and attractions. Reviews highlight the hostel's cleanliness, friendly staff, and good value for money. Many mention it’s a safe and social place to stay, especially for solo travelers.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are basic and most have bunk beds and shared bathrooms, so don’t expect luxury. There’s no air conditioning, which can be a bit warm in summer. Breakfast isn’t included, though affordable options are close by.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a clean, central, and affordable base for your London concert adventure, YHA London St Paul's hits the right note.

Great, safe stay in the...

Liked: This was my first hostel experience, and I would do it again based on this facility.Nice staffThe building is old, but it is well-maintained and clean.We were able to store our luggage before checking into our beds later that afternoon.Lots of locked doors that required a key to access, so it felt very secure.The bunk room was as advertised. There was a fan in the room that kept air moving and added white noise. Two sinks were available. Lockers were large, and there was enough space for everyone in the room to stash their gear safely. I was able to buy a lock at the front desk since I had forgotten mine. Towels were available for rent. Fair price for very large towels.Large bottle filling station available. We did not purchase the breakfast, but it looked and smelled nice every morning as we walked through to leave our rooms.Wifi is only available in common spaces. Plan accordingly.Just around the corner from the Cathedral, so it is in the heart of central London. Easy walking to the Tube and all the attractions.
Disliked: In our area of the hostel, there was only one water closet and one shower for approximately 16 people. This meant that you sometimes had to travel down a flight of stairs and through a few locked doors to use the bathroom. Not a huge deal, but it was a challenge at times. The courtyard area was locked up, and I was not able to get my card to access it.

A lovely surprise

Liked: I had a great stay at YHA St Paul's while traveling alone. The dorm and commodities were really clean (shower and toilet were en-suite so that was a nice surprise), the bed was comfortable, the staff was really nice and the girls I met while staying were adorable! And of course, the location was ideal and very close to the city center. Altogether a great experience. Would definitely book again at this hostel!

It definitely ticks all of...

Liked: The rooms here are always clean and comfortable. I usually stay here for only one night at a time whenever I am in the area. The hostel is across the road from St Pauls tube so very easy getting around. I appreciated being given a bottom bunk due to my dodgy knee so a big thanks for that. Slept very soundly.I like the luxury of being able to sit and watch a bit of TV late on at night and first thing on a morning and the chill out room is very pleasant and with a homely feel. The regular chiming of the St Pauls Bells is also a very pleasant sound so you never need a watch!!!Very interesting book collection.
Disliked: Nothing. All good.
